Hi folks,
My first ever post here as I only purchased my Rev 2 '16' a couple of days ago.
I am aware there is already a thread discussing an Editor, by member CodeKnobs. Does this mean that there is NO 'official' Editor for the Prophet 8/16? If so, why did Sequential choose to not release one, please? - seems a bit odd to me to be honest!
Anyway, I have read that the Prophet 8/16 has 8 x Banks in all: 4 x Factory (burned-in) and 4 x User (deletable). I am looking to replace all of the User Bank slots.
So, I have purchased three 3rd party retailer soundbanks. It seems that one cannot specify which Bank you would like them to be loaded into? For instance, two of the purchased soundbanks will only load into Banks 2 & 3 respectively, and the third purchased soundbank will only load into Bank 4.
I read in the manual that such 3rd party soundbanks will ONLY load into the same User Bank from which they were exported (by the retailer)?! ie. If the retailer exported the soundbank from User Bank 4 then it will automatically be loaded into User Bank 4 on the customer's unit.
I can kinda' live with that up to a certain point, I guess. However, the problem (question!) arises because there is one more soundbank I would really like to own (by LA keyboardist JP30 - see link below). JP30 states (in his advert description):
"There are 50 patches in this bank and they will load to User Bank 4 patches 1-50 on your Rev 2."
So, in my situation, I already have 3 x User Banks loaded (2, 3, & 4). But if I load in JP30's soundbank it's going to overwrite circa 40% of my current User Bank 4 presets! If so, annoyingly, my User Bank 1 is full of factory-presets which are superfluous as they are already hard-wired in Factory Bank 1 - my question being I would somehow like to direct, please, JP30's soundbank to my User Bank 1 (instead of my User Bank 4).
btw - I used MIDI-OX to make the transfers (of which I do have a couple of questions, but I'll wait until this first matter is resolved).
Many thanks in advance for any kind assistance offered here . . .
Best,
